RUSH EXCERPT:
STEPHANOPOULOS: "Some wonder if it will be bold enough? If you want the get prices down, you have to go the single payer health care. Will Democrats unify behind that?"
SCHUMER: "Our economic agenda, we have talked so much about health care that we're not going the address that in this agenda. We've been talking about it. The first thing we're going to do, should first, that I think this TrumpCare will not pass. It just is rotten."
STEPHANOPOULOS: "You think it's dead."
SCHUMER: "I think it's very unlikely to pass because it's rot on the the core. People are not for reducing taxes on rich people or getting rid of Medicaid. Which is a very, very middle class thing now as well as for poor people. The first thing we're going to propose."
